Summary

Dog hair, dust, and other small bits might get pushed through your extruder compromising, or completely wrecking a print. After designing a couple filters that were simple slotted cups, I wanted something a bit more refined and lightweight. So I modeled this. Has holes to drop in a bit of oil if need be.

Printed as one piece. Should hinge should be loose or break free with minimal force.

i have an Ultimaker 3 Extended version (2.85mm filaments) I wish to use NinjaFlex who is hard to no get block on the Bowden and dont block too on the feeder etc... :/

For my case of ninjaflex and printer can you please tell me which of your 3 files i should print ?

can i print them in ABS ? in 0% infill and 0.2mm resolution too ?

for Ninjaflex (some of my print need like 12hours to finish) do i need to put more oil on the sponge ? the best oil stay the Rapeseed Oil ? or better result with WD40 oil ? or teflon oil for mountain bike gear ? or 3 in one oil ?

i have actualy the teflon oil for bike and sun oil seed in my kitchen ^^ but i can go to buy any of the others if they are better % to succed even 1% more ^^

Hey I was going to try and add on a tube for my 3D printer but I can't edit the files I download since it is an STL file. Would you mind sending me the file (preferably as a dwg file) so I can edit it?
I would obviously make this as a remix and credit you but I was curious. Thank you for your time

Some people add a drop of higher-temp oil (often canola or the like) to help PLA. But mostly, I use it to keep my dog's hair out of the extruder. Too much oil, or any depending on the filament type, could adversely affect layer bonding.

No problem. Baby steps. Can seem overwhelming at times. Base layer is critical. Get your bed leveled. Print a couple skirts and manually dial (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:915845) in your bed to make sure the skirt lines are even and printing well. Slow down to start. You can slowly up the speed until something breaks, later.

Base not sticking? My fav is cheap dollar store picture frame glass (or mirrors but make sure it's glass) on 0.5mm thermal pads (sticky but not adhesive) and a few light coats of Aquanet hairspray.

Used blue tape when I started. Some brands really did not work.Went through glue sticks, but usually messier and not always even. Used generic hairspray before getting turned onto Aquanet. Love Aquanet on glass now. Been printing with ASA (all the good properties of ABS plus less smell, warping and UV-resistant). A hot bed and a few coats of Aquanet holds really well. Prints pop off when glass is cold. A bit more expensive, but to me, better 'ink'.

Not certain of your printer and if the dials will fit, but very handy if they do.
